The FastCamera40 is a high-speed megapixel digital camera system, based on a CMOS imager with an global electronic shutter. This camera has a high-speed, scaleable, integrated FPGA and memory subsystem which enable stand-alone high speed in-camera image processing. When integrated with a camera link framegrabber/coprocessor board, the resulting system capabilities can be expanded by adding processors and memory on the board according to the needs of the user. Another option is the USB2.0 version which allows the full rate capture of events in the camera for eventual downloading.
